Need a 4x4 tipper for my work and was contemplating converting my current series 3 109' station wagon, is this possible? if so, does it make any financial sense?? (not that owning a series 3 ever makes financial sense!) any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated???

I had a series 1 tiper, the rear was built on a simple frame that rested on the chassis & bolt,d to the boddy mountings, it had a handle to wind the tiper up & downe, it was a proper convershon & had a name plate on the frame, it was scrapd in 1976.

I've got a little Landrover produced booklet with a whole list of the conversions available and the companies that produced them. Every thing from a PTO Bench saw to a aircraft baggage loader and a mobile cinema. Oh and a dustcart?

Just a picture and the addresses of whoever supplied em.. But it might give you a start if you wanted an orginal tipper instead of a DIY jobby.

The booklet is about 40 years old. Not sure how many of the companies will still be trading??
